How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

However, I am very clear that taking advantage of the current craze of Undercity Ruins and launching hunger marketing can increase profits, so it is also necessary to properly control the number of sales.

"I see." Satasia nodded, but still a little confused, "But why did the Demon King tell me this?"

"It's very simple." I pressed the confirmation button on the transaction panel, handed all the fluorite lanterns to the other party, and then explained, "Because you will be responsible for selling these supplies next."

After all, such a large quantity needs to be determined according to market conditions, and I can't waste all my time on this.

As if she didn't see any sign of joking on my face, Satasia was shocked, "Is it really okay to entrust such an important matter to a fool like me?"

I was shocked that he accepted being called an idiot because he didn't want to work. "It's okay. Kai and the others will help you."

The monastery team, who had been thinking about having fun with the loli, was shocked. "I...we will try our best to assist Miss Satasia."

So after seeing that the situation seemed irreversible, Satasia immediately showed a firm look, "No, they refuse. This kind of thing is boring no matter how you think about it."

"Not negotiable?"

"Free will is unstoppable."

I was silent for a moment and decided to change the subject, "Satasia, do you know what a demon hunter is?"

Of course, this would be difficult for a guy who considers himself a fool, "I think I've heard of it..."

Fortunately, Kai and the others nearby explained at the right time, "This is a special title granted by the Holy Light. By continuously destroying demons, you can gain higher status and honor."

"I see." Satasia showed a look of astonishment, but then she thought of something else, "But why did the Demon King suddenly mention this?"

"Nothing much, I just wanted to show you what this is."

I shrugged and showed a newly-earned title above my head.

"..."

"..."

"Don't worry, Lord Demon, we will try our best to sell these supplies!"

After naturally handing over the task of selling fluorite lanterns to Satasia and the monastery team, I walked out of the exchange in Nalton town with ease.

But although it is said to be easy, it is not that easy actually.

"The Barrona Bunker will be opened tomorrow. I don't know how Hill is preparing. The black fragments in the Mihri ruins can be used to demonize the monsters under our command, so we need to stock up."

After summoning and binding the attributeless magic crystal, I thought about it and decided to go to the Undercity ruins first.

If there is a chance, it would be best to get the hidden holy relic. After all, I have specially accepted the pre-task, and this way I will have three holy relics in my hands, which will weaken the strength of those high-end players in the later stage to a certain extent.

Just as I was about to leave the town of Nalton and head towards the Undercity ruins that had just been opened nearby, I suddenly felt something bumping behind me, accompanied by a cheerful voice.

"An An, I found you~"

Hearing this familiar voice, I couldn't help but be stunned, "Yiwen? Why are you here?"

The guy who appeared in front of him was the one who gave him a headache, or rather, there was not only him, but also another unexpected petite figure.

"Hey, Cecilia is here too?"

This was the first time I saw Cecilia in the game. Judging from her dress, she seemed to be an alchemist. Combined with my previous impression of her, it wouldn't be strange if she took something out from under her skirt in the next second.

I really took it out!

Cecilia pulled out a bottle of unknown potion from under her skirt, shook it, and then put it back. She seemed to have seen my horrified expression and explained, "This skirt is a special equipment that can nourish the potion and enhance its effect."

So it’s a special equipment, that’s not surprising... No wonder!

So why do you have to take it out from under the skirt? Could it be that it is nourished with girls' holy water?

"Good...great." In order to avoid making the atmosphere awkward, he could only express encouragement reluctantly.

"So awesome, so awesome!" The girl with twin ponytails next to me also clapped her hands like me.

"..."

"..."

"So how did you find me here?"

"The tower... the tower is cracked, An An..."

Chapter 34: Lolita Team Departure

"Astrologer?"

Only after hearing the other party's answer did I understand.

The astrologer that Yiwen mentioned is a special indigenous person in the era who can use the mysterious astrology to know many things, including the ability to predict the player's position.

This provided considerable convenience for certain special industries within the game, such as assassination and detection, as well as guild or personal revenge, etc. Many revenge dramas in later generations were derived from this.

However, this astrology also has certain flaws. The divination coordinates are not very specific, but only roughly locate within a few hundred yards around the target.

In addition, these astrologers are relatively rare and have no fixed place of residence. They may appear in every city, making it very difficult to find them. Generally, only guilds will arrange members to wait for them.

The reason why I was surprised was that the lowest fee for divination started with a unit price of gold coins. Although most people could afford it in the previous life, it was definitely a huge sum of money now.

"how much did you spend?"

I gave her a scrutinizing look, which seemed a bit like a henpecked husband.

Yiwen fiddled with his hands as if he was counting, "Not much, only four gold coins."

"Including the international transfer, the total is ten gold coins."

Cecilia added lightly from the side.

I almost fell down. Even though I was earning dozens of gold coins every day, you have to know that some small guilds can hardly earn more than ten gold coins in a few days, let alone individual players.

If you want to buy it on the market with real money, it would cost hundreds of thousands conservatively.

Moreover, the probability of finding the astrologer with the help of Ivan and Cecilia alone is as touching as drawing Klee with 160 original stones, so it is obvious that these two guys should have asked someone for help.

It's easy to guess that they are probably employees of Ivan's mother's company, or subordinates of Cecilia's family.

One is a rich loli and the other is a hairy loli, it can be said to be so terrifying.

“So this is not such a waste…”

"Who told An An to always leave us alone to play games? We obviously want to play with An An too."

"I was dragged here. Yiwen said that if we don't keep in touch often, we won't be able to eat the desserts made by Xiaoan."

Hearing their answers, I couldn't help but twitch my lips.

But if I think about it carefully, I haven't had much contact with Yuwen and the others recently. Whether in reality or in the game, I have been busy with in-game things.

After all, as a demon king, he always has to work hard for future development. If he neglects anything, the mosaics in the ending will be unimaginable.

But facing two pairs of sincere eyes, or to prevent these two prodigal lolis from continuing to spend money, I finally sighed, "Forget it, I'll make an exception and let you come with me."

"Great! An An is the best~"

"Making an exception... turns out to be something that cannot be seen in public?"

"That's not the case!"

My idea is very simple. If I just take away the holy objects in the Undercity ruins, it shouldn't expose my other identity too much. In this way, it won't matter if Ivan and the others follow me.

With this thought in mind, I brought Ivan and Cecilia to the south of the town of Nalton and found our destination in a rugged mine.

Or rather, there is no need to use the term "looking for it" at all, as the crowds of people at the entrance have already served as a guide.

There were scattered teams of players as well as gatherings of guilds. Some were well-equipped and looked like new development studios. Because Nalton had sent soldiers to garrison the area, making it a safe zone, many people had set up temporary stalls, making it look like a bustling market.

Because the ruins had just been opened and were very popular, the three lolis mixed in and although attracted the attention of some people around them, it did not cause too much attention. After all, most players are always ruthlessly upgrading machines and only become active when they are free.

"Isn't this the Undercity ruins that just opened today? Why did An An bring us here?"

While Yiwen leaned against him from behind like a spoiled child, he cast his eyes towards the entrance of the ruins which was guarded by dozens of guards. It seemed that he had done some special homework before coming here.

Cecilia's eyes were fixed on a certain ornament on my head, or rather, they remained like that all the way here, until I explained that it was a special equipment. Then she looked around at the lively crowd.

However, the first sentence I said clearly proved that I needed to explain something again, "Could it be that the goal of the mission is here?"

"I already told you it's not that kind of thing!"

While pushing away the face of a little guy next to me, I explained in the team channel, "I received a mission, and the mission mentioned that there was a very powerful equipment hidden in the Undercity ruins, so I thought of coming here to see if there is a chance to get it."

"Just the three of us?" Cecilia seemed to be examining the overall combat capability of this team.

"After all, there are many people around, and if you accidentally expose it, others will inevitably have some thoughts."

"An An is right. What's wrong with just the three of us? I don't want anyone else to disturb my date with An An... It hurts."

Before Yiwen could finish his words, I hit him on the head. I added, "Besides, for the place we are going to, more people may cause more trouble."

"Hey, isn't it inside the Undercity ruins?" Ivan covered his head with his hands, a little curious. Cecilia next to him also cast a curious look at him.

"It's the Undercity ruins, for sure." I paused for a moment, coughed, and continued, "It's just on the sixth floor of the Undercity ruins."

As soon as I finished speaking, the expressions of the two little ones beside me suddenly became subtle. Yiwen even stretched out his little hand and touched my forehead, "An An's fever is so severe that he has already started talking nonsense."

It's no wonder that Ivan and Cecilia behaved like this. After all, the monsters distributed on the sixth floor of the ruins are already level 60 to 70. At this stage, it is impossible for players to compete with them, or even reach the sixth floor.

However, this is only true for most people, at least it does not include me.

"Of course I have a way. Just follow me." I slapped Yiwen's little hand away and followed the crowd towards the entrance of the Undercity ruins.

Ivan and Cecilia behind him glanced at each other and had no choice but to follow.

Chapter 35 Please Choose Your Tool

The space inside the Undercity ruins can be said to be extremely large. The first floor alone is said to be able to accommodate up to 10,000 players at the same time. One can imagine how difficult the excavation work was at that time, not to mention that there was a huge city built underneath.

However, there is also a saying that this underground cave was formed naturally, and the Horaien people simply built a road to go downwards.

There has been a lot of debate about these two statements among scholars who study the history of Horion. After all, hundreds of years have passed, and even if there are traces of human intervention, they have become more or less blurred and difficult to distinguish.

The reason I mention this is just to explain that the space of the ruins is not only large, but also seems to be naturally formed, or it may have been intentionally done during artificial excavation, resulting in many trivial spaces in the entire underground cave.

Therefore, even though the ruins had just been opened and were very popular, the number of players pouring in was countless and they were divided into different flows by the corridors in front of the entrance.

Not only that, the further you go inside, the more passages there are. Some are narrow, some are wide, some are closed on both sides, and some have underground rivers flowing on the side. Most of them are intertwined with each other, forming areas of different sizes under the division of stalactites and rocks.

In addition, the light inside the cave is dim. If you don’t look at the map carefully, you will most likely get lost. The monsters are hiding in the darkness, always waiting for the moment to attack the player.

When I entered the ruins, I did not choose a route immediately. Instead, I stood in front of the relatively spacious open space behind the entrance, looking at the people coming and going around. When I accidentally caught a glimpse of a team of about ten people, my eyes suddenly lit up.

As if sensing something, the male paladin leading the team turned his head and found three cute lolis not far away. One of them was wearing cat ears and was showing them a bright smile.

Although he was not quite sure what had happened, the male knight waved in a friendly manner and walked into a random corridor with his cute teammates behind him.

"Let's follow them and ask them to help us clean up the monsters in front."

I waved to the two little ones behind me.

Only then did Ivan and Cecilia realize that their previous observations were just to find a team that was suitable to serve as tools.

The team was well-equipped, had a reasonable distribution of professions, and had harmonious communication within the team. Obviously, they did not realize that they had been used as tools by a certain sinister pink-haired guy.

Cecilia tilted her head, "What if we get discovered?"

"It's so dark, they can't see it, right?"

Yiwen glanced at the dark environment in the corridor and said, "Although they have lights, as long as we are far away, they won't be able to see us."

Although most of the fluorite lanterns in the town of Nalton have been bought by the Rhine Chamber of Commerce, in order to cope with the opening of the Undercity ruins, most player teams and guilds will grit their teeth and spend money to purchase some fluorite lanterns from the market at several times the price. What's more, that team is obviously not short of money, so it's no big deal to have a few lanterns.

But soon, Ivan and Cecilia thought of a very critical question together -

They also always use fluorite lanterns for lighting.

Even in a dim environment, if you cannot detect the light following you, then the other person must be a professional StarCraft player.

Facing the looks from the two lolis, I smiled slightly, "It's very simple, we don't need the fluorite lantern."

As I said that, I took out three sets of equipment with dark vision bonuses from my backpack and traded them to the two of them.

After all, the environment in the Undercity ruins is just insufficiently lit, and there are no other negative effects. The attribute of dark vision bonus is enough to replace the function of the fluorite lantern.

"Hey, An An, where did you get these equipment? I heard that there are equipment with dark vision bonuses on the market that are very expensive, and you may not be able to buy them." Yuwen was a little curious.

"The reward for the mission." I made up an excuse.

In fact, these equipment were dropped by Satasia when she was clearing monsters around the Demon King's Castle. Although the drop rate is relatively low, it is at least much higher than that of the Light Camp. One set of parts even dropped from the Mist Forest.
